3. The nurse should review the risks associated with the use of tobacco, caffeine, drugs, and alcohol, as well as discussing the fetal effects of these substances.
4. Some pregnant teens have low reading levels and tend to prefer handouts and posters that have visual interest, short sentences, bulleted items, and white space.
